About this dive site
This dive site, known as Manta Road, is a fascinating channel stretching approximately 250 meters between two prominent reef walls. The seabed consists of a mix of sand and varying sizes of coral mounds – these mounds play a crucial role as natural cleaning and feeding stations for the magnificent mantas that frequent the area. Garden Eels can also be found amongst the sandy patches. Divers occasionally encounter passing sharks or tuna, adding an element of excitement to their explorations. The channel offers a unique opportunity to observe manta ray behavior in their natural environment.
